Gentle Yin Yoga with deep stretches for back, shoulders, neck , legs and hips.
Do you have a tired, tense and sore back, shoulders , neck and hips?
We start in the lower back and work our way up to the neck and shoulders. Be playful in how to position your body in order to find the juicy spots. If it's too intense, move away from the area a little, so you can relax more. Relaxation of the muscles we target is essential in Yin practice. The idea is to completely surrender and let go. While tension is released, stored emotions can arise too; just allow them to come (and go). At the end we will slip into Savasana right away, so make sure you are comfy and warm when you practice. This is a great class to do before going to sleep.
Props: pillow or bolster, two blocks, roller foam and a blanket to cover your self. Enjoy. -
